2 way communication and the ability to run the looper make the Remote tough to beat for me.

I play in a classic rock cover band. So far I used the KPA during band rehearsals and two smaller gigs. I used to play a Marshall TSL 602, which is a pretty amp, so I wanted something lighter.
The other guitarist plays a Marshall head through a Vox 2x12 cab with pedals. I played the Kemper through Yanaha 10 with some Britt or ReampZone profiles. And one Gig my sound was ok, but not great at the other gig it was awful. It was thin without any punch. It just sounded weak. My band mates even asked me after the gig whether I wanted to continue with the Kemper or better I should go back to my Marshall.
The reason for this probably is that at small venues the audience hears directly the amp in the room sound and not the miked sound. The miked sound especially with a SM57 sounds thinner than amp in the room.Your Kemper's Pure Cab setting can get that amp in the room sound for you. It gets rid of mic coloration. It's in the Output section as well as the Cab section of each profile, set it to 10 globally and ditch the Mics. Also see if anyone has a profile of a 2x12 DSL 602 and Pure Cab that. Might just be what your missing is your trusty old cab responses. It will also filter out the mic for your main outs so now any audience will hear exactly what your hear: amp in the room.
For thin sound I'd demo a DXR12 and see if that gets you any closer. Also try the EQ Stomp 1x12 into 4x12 cab.
I used 12's with my Kemper for years but finally went to an RCF 15". I can always dial it out the extra bottom for certain venues if need be, but if I need more it's available now.
Don't ditch the Kemper because of tone, the sound is in there you will just have to work a bit to get it right for you. Cheers!

I checked Maurizio's home page and it looks like he still has them available for download there:

Welcome to Kemper!

Has anyone even bought one of these yet? It's like a ghost for vids or user info.

Would be interesting to hear some examples how you tweak, i use clr pair in many different configurations depending on the gig (size) and have the outout eq always flat and will only finetune some space fx if needed.
I don't own a CLR. I use a Mission Gemini with a Matrix GT800FX flat. When I use my headphones (lower end Audio Technica's) or my EV ZLX12P's I pretty much just add bottom end and drop some highs and presence.
-
Use the EQ in the Output section to get the CLR's to sound right, at gig volume and save it. Do that first and then set up an EQ to get your headphones to sound as similar as possible. I have one set up for my headphones and a bunch for shows. I have Output EQ's saved for different venues and different FRFR setups I use depending on show size.
You really can't tweak tones with headphones on, it never translates the same to a PA.

If it's just for you it should sound great. Going stereo FOH can require a lot of effort to set and maintain I think that's what most were alluding to.
I went for traditional shaped frfr cabs not wedges and set my rack right on top.
-
+1 for FRFR I use Mission Gemini cabs with my Matrix GT800
-
When somebody takes the Fletcher Munson curve and has it Morph along with my volume pedal I will buy that rig!

Yes to get stereo you need 2 speakers and hook them up to the Main outs, no matter what Kemper you have. The monitor out and speaker out are mono only,
I'm a live player almost exclusively and have found it saves time and grief to not use stereo live. It really only works in limited areas of venues anyways. I use monitor out to my power amp which then goes out to my 2 cabs. I plug an XLR into the main out for FOH, either one is fine I'm all summed to mono. Stages will always have an XLR to the board so I like to keep the Main outs free for the house.

Anyone notice any problems or tone degradation puttiing the Kemper into the loop of an AX8? Looking at adding this or an Amplifire 12 to work as a stomp box (effects only) onstage and as a backup rig.
Also wondering about the midi limitations. I would use my FC300 to send program changes to the Kemper but would also like them to get to the AX8.
-
It does have Spring Reverb though, yes, I went there again
-
After trying several FRFR setups I now 2 Gemini cabs. They get powered with a Matrix GT800FX and it's plenty loud enough.
-
It changes different stuff depending on the preset I'm on but mainly to add volume, increase reverb or delay mix and also to decrease mod mixes for solos.
-
Thanks skoczy I hadn't slept for days till I watched this one lol.
-
Why not run your mixer into the Kemper's Alt Input? I do it at shows to run sound before the PA is up. Sounds awesome with my phone even.

a 2nd expression pedal did the trick for me, only way I see.

Yay a price war!!!!!
